For the relationship with EU Directive see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this document. BS EN 50581:2012EN 50581:2012 4 Int
17、roduction Certain substances contained in electrical and electronic products are restricted by legislation and/or customer specifications. Manufacturers of final products therefore need to be able to demonstrate that their products meet the applicable substance restrictions. For those restrictions t
18、hat apply at the “homogeneous material“ level, it is impractical for manufacturers of complex products to undertake their own testing of all materials contained in the final assembled product. Instead, manufacturers work with their suppliers to manage compliance and compile technical documentation a
19、s evidence of compliance. This approach is well recognised by both industry and enforcement authorities. The aim of this European Standard is to specify the technical documentation that the manufacturer needs to compile in order to declare compliance with the applicable substance restrictions. In th
20、is way, this European Standard supports Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS). This European Standard can also find an application in demonstrating
21、conformity to other substance regulations worldwide. BS EN 50581:2012 5 EN 50581:2012 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the technical documentation that the manufacturer needs to compile in order to declare compliance with the applicable substance restrictions. The documentation of the manufa
22、cturers management system is outside the scope of this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated refe
23、rences, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

26、er for the purposes of Directive 2011/65/EU. 3.3 supplier organisation that provides the manufacturer with materials, parts and/or sub-assemblies 4 Technical documentation 4.1 Overview The manufacturer shall compile technical documentation to demonstrate that electrical and electronic products compl
27、y with substance restrictions (see 4.2 and 4.3). 4.2 Content of the technical documentation The technical documentation shall include at least the following elements: a general description of the product; NOTE 1 Directive 2011/65/EU specifies 11 product categories. The product category is one of the
28、 factors that determines which exemptions apply. documents for materials, parts, and/or sub-assemblies (see 4.3); information showing the relationship between the technical documents identified in 4.3 and the corresponding materials, parts and/or sub-assemblies in the product; BS EN 50581:2012EN 505
29、81:2012 6 list of harmonized standards and/or other technical specifications that have been used to establish the technical documents identified in 4.3, or to which such documents refer. NOTE 2 Annex A describes the relationship between Article 7(b) of Directive 2011/65/EU, Module A of Decision 768/
30、2008/EC, this European Standard, and the technical documentation. 4.3 Information on materials, parts, and/or sub-assemblies 4.3.1 Tasks to be undertaken by the manufacturer The manufacturer shall undertake the following four tasks: determine the information needed (see 4.3.2); collect the informati
31、on (see 4.3.3); evaluate the information with regard to its quality and trustworthiness and decide whether to include it in the technical documentation (see 4.3.4); ensure that the technical documentation remains valid (see 4.3.5).

NOTE 2 The assessment and its associated procedures can form part of a quality management system or equivalent. 4.3.3 Collecting information As a result of the manufacturers assessment
35、, the following documents on materials, parts, and/or sub-assemblies shall be collected: a) Supplier declarations and/or contractual agreements, such as: Supplier declarations, confirming that the restricted substance content of the material, part, or sub-assembly is within the permitted levels and
36、identifying any exemptions that have been applied; Signed contracts confirming that the manufacturers specification for the maximum content of restricted substances in a material, part, or sub-assembly is fulfilled. Such declarations or agreements shall cover a specific material, part and/or sub-ass
37、embly, or a specific range of materials, parts and/or sub-assemblies. and/or b) Material Declarations: Material declarations providing information on specific substance content and identifying any exemptions that have been applied. NOTE 1 The use of standards for such declarations helps ensure consi
38、stent and cost-effective flow of information throughout the supply chain. EN 62474 “Material declaration for products of and for the electrotechnical industry” describes the procedure, content, and form relating to material declaration. Other specifications for material declarations are also used in
39、 industry today. and/or c) Analytical test results: Analytical test results using the methods described or referenced in EN 62321. NOTE 2 EN 62321 will be replaced by a series of standards designated EN 62321-x. 4.3.4 Evaluation of information The manufacturer shall establish procedures that shall b
40、e used to evaluate the documents described in 4.3.3 in order to determine their quality and trustworthiness. NOTE 1 IEC/TR 62476 provides a framework for the use of internationally accepted standards, tools and practices to evaluate electrical and electronic products with respect to restricted subst
41、ances. The manufacturer shall evaluate, in accordance with these procedures, the source and content of each document received in order to determine whether or not the material, part, or sub-assembly meets the specified substance restrictions. NOTE 2 The substance restrictions specified in Directive
42、2011/65/EU apply at the homogeneous material level. BS EN 50581:2012EN 50581:2012 8 This evaluation will enable the manufacturer to decide whether the documents provide sufficient evidence of compliance to justify their inclusion in the technical documentation. If a particular document is: considere
43、d to be of sufficient quality and trustworthiness, then it shall be included in the technical documentation; not considered to be of sufficient quality or trustworthiness, then the manufacturer shall determine what further actions are necessary possible actions include requesting additional informat
44、ion from the supplier or undertaking his own substance analysis. 4.3.5 Review of the technical documentation The manufacturer shall: perform a periodic review of the documents contained in the technical documentation to ensure that they are still valid; ensure that the technical documentation reflec
45、ts any changes to materials, parts or sub-assemblies in accordance with 4.3.3. NOTE Directive 2011/65/EU requires that “manufacturers ensure that procedures are in place for series production to remain in conformity. Changes in product design or characteristics and changes in the harmonised standard
46、s or in technical specifications by reference to which conformity of EEE is declared shall be adequately taken into account”.
